How does ChatterBlocker differ from “White Noise” masking devices?
Some offices deal with the problem of conversational distraction by installing “White Noise” sound masking systems, which typically involve speakers placed in the plenum above the ceiling. These devices help reduce the intelligibility of nearby speech; users often assume they are hearing the sound of the air conditioning system. However, this is a one-size-fits-all approach that doesn’t let users adjust the volume and content of the sound being played. “White noise” and “pink noise” can be annoying at certain levels and ineffective at others. ChatterBlocker lets users select one or more simultaneous masking sounds and adjust the volume to fit their own situation.
